Sparkling Peach Sangria

Whether for brunch, lunch or to unwind after a long day, this cold and refreshing sparkling peach sangria is refreshing and easy to make.

Labor Day weekend is around the corner. August for most of the US brought hot and sticky weather. My kids have returned to school, which is always bittersweet. Especially this year. My eldest, the Professor is a freshman in college now. I have to pinch myself that I have a child in college.

My other two kids are in high school. The days of play doh and floaties have been long gone, but have been replaced with other adventures like volleyball games, backpacking trips and funny memes.

This late part of summer means something else besides school starting up and that’s peach season! My family and I are inhaling as many sweet peaches as we can get. Because just like summer, peach season is always welcomed but goes by fast.

Why this recipe is so awesome

Although I am not a big drinker, I do find a glass of sangria very refreshing. In fact, I came up with this particular recipe because I am not a big drinker. It is very light and has a wonderful peach flavor.

I do not like the bitter taste of wine, but I do like sparkling white wine. The beauty of the sangria is that you can personalize it to your own personal taste. Some people like a little harder sangria and add brandy to the mix.

If you are a lightweight like me, I prefer a lighter drink especially during the hot months. I like to add a little club soda or lemon lime soda to my peach sangria. Either way, it is one delicious and refreshing drink.

Ingredients you need

• Sparkling white wine: You can use champagne, sparkling white wine or Prosecco. Choose whichever brand you personally like.
• Peach schnapps: This gives the lovely touch of peach flavor to this sangria.
• Peaches: You can use fresh or frozen peaches. During the hot summer months, I keep a bag of frozen peach slices handy. It gives me the peaches I need for my sangria and it cools off my drink without ice.

Step-by-step directions

This is not a complicated recipe to make. Just combine all of the ingredients together in a pitcher. Keep your sparkling wine in the fridge so it is nice and cold.

You can pour sangria into glasses filled with ice or frozen peach slices.

Recipes tips and FAQs

Should you peel your peaches for sangria? This question pops up when I tell people I’m making a homemade peach pie or peach crisp. When you cook peaches, the skin tends to separate from the fruit so peeling is necessary. But for this peach sangria, well duh, nothing is getting cooked.

So it is a personal preference on whether or not you peel the peaches. You can also use frozen peaches for this sparkling peach sangria. No thawing necessary. Just drop the frozen peaches into the sangria and they will keep your drink cool while you sip, sip away.

You can use white peaches or yellow peaches. White peaches are more sweet and fragrant, but I adore yellow peaches. Again, the choice is all yours.
